This flashcard distinguishes between temporary cofactors/coenzymes and permanently bound prosthetic groups, and contrasts competitive (e.g., statins) with non-competitive inhibition (e.g., PPIs).
This flashcard differentiates cofactors, coenzymes, and prosthetic groups, and explains competitive versus non-competitive inhibition, using examples like statins and PPIs.
| Front | cofactors/coenzymes vs prosthetic groups, comp vs non-comp |
|---|---|
| Back | - cofactors minerals (ions) and coenzymes organic vitamins, both temporarily bound - prosthetic groups e.g Zn2+ in carbonic acid, and Fe2+ in haem, permenantly bound - comp is statins and non-comp is PPI |
